Robert Swanson candelabra and Alvar Aalto stools

Robert Swanson designed the candelabra 
to compliment the Saarinen-Swanson Group.  The line, designed in collaboration with his wife Pipsan, included furniture, textiles, lamps, glassware and ceramics.

The interesting thing is that mine is iron, possibly to compliment the Sol-Air group by Pipsan and Robert.

Also, according to the original owner, it was purchased at VKG.

I was so happy to get this. Now I need to figure out what it went to.
